When Ferragamo is good, they are really, really good. And the Gancio shoulder bag is about at good as it gets, when it comes to a bag that ticks off certain boxes – criteria that frequently come up when discussing bags. Like timeless. Check. Ladylike yet modern? Check. Fully functional? Check, again. Altogether appealing on the eyes? Final check.

A lot of colorblocked bags have a way of looking like their bold color schemes come before the design, but with the Gancio, it’s the opposite. You notice its decidedly structured shape, decadent gold hardware closure, and clean geometry before the rest registers. That’s the beauty of a gorgeous combination of hues, like a pop of forest green on the otherwise neutral medium-sized version, a punch of pink against subdued taupe and cream, or a switched-up version featuring a burst of sunny yellow (both in a smaller size) – it just feels right.
